Interview with Jill

Tell us a little about your background.

My background – I worked in the UK public sector for 30 years; I joined while I decided what I wanted to be…I met a Frenchman, took early retirement, moved to France and now help people to change their lives. I also teach English and run a small B & B (chambres d’hôtes).

Why did you change careers?

I had qualified as a coach in the UK and when I met Laurent I decided to take a risk

What are your interests?

I love people so most things revolve around that. I invite people and Laurent cooks:)
